George Beall VIII (August 17, 1937 – January 15, 2017) was a prominent U.S. attorney. While serving as United States Attorney for the District of Maryland, he prosecuted Vice President of the United States Spiro Agnew for bribery.[1] This prosecution ultimately led to Agnew's resignation as Vice President in 1973.[1]
Beall was born in Frostburg, Maryland, on August 17, 1937, a son of James Glenn Beall and Margaret (Schwarzenbach) Beall.[1] His siblings included John Glenn Beall Jr.[2][1]
Beall received his undergraduate degree from Princeton University in 1959; and his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law,[1] in 1963. His first two marriages, to Linda Jenkins in 1961 and Nancy Roche in 1965, ended in divorces.[3][4] In 1980, he married Carolyn Campbell.[4] He died in Naples, Florida, on January 15, 2017.[1]
